With some major championships coming up in August and September we are hopeful of adding to the list. Our results are a culmination of years of sail development, working with some of the best dinghy sailors across the world and the long standing dedication to producing high quality, fast sails using the latest in design and manufacturing techniques.

What this list does not show is the number of P&B sails competing at club events across the UK every week. This is something that P&B are very proud of and would like highlight further. If you're using P&B whether it's our sails, spars or fit outs we want to hear from you. Send your pictures and results to email and feature in our weekly blog or even our annual product catalogue.


 
Running Repairs!
Running Repairs!
The P&B team are becoming increasingly busy with a number of running repairs as the championships come thick and fast. Whilst P&B offer exceptional repair services for both sails and boats from our in-house sail loft and workshops we got to thinking about all those smaller repairs which can be completed on the water. Saving a race or consolidating a place can often be the difference between winning and loosing a championship so Pins and Split Rings, Electric Tape, Gerber Multi Tool and Knife, 5mm Shackle, 30mm Block, 2m of 4mm Rope and 2m of 4mm Shockcord are all things that we recommend to keep on hand inside the boat.


 
Kit Of The Week!
KIT of the WEEK!
Each week one of the P&B team will be looking into their kit bag and giving us an item that they simply wouldn't sail without!

Not for the first time this year this weeks 'Kit of the Week' is the TwinSpinno Pole Launch System. Sailing at Notts County SC in a handicap event P&B's Andy Farmer was the first Flying 15 to finish. Sailing a second hand boat the addition of the TwinSpinno System helped get the most out his rig, making gybing easy and efficient, which made all the difference on the day.
